I've thought the same thing. I feel like it could be AI companies hiring security researchers and telling them to burn 100 billion tokens in addition to what they normally do. It may or not make the process faster, but it certainly makes it orders of magnitude more expensive. It could partially be natural as I wouldn't be as surprised if the new eyes on linux created a situation with 5000 AIbros paying $17 per month for claude vs 1 normal researcher who won't blame the success on AI so it just genuinely more common.
